William Prynne was a contentious Puritan attorney remembered for his numerous books and pamphlets and for his ability to antagonize others. He attacked the fashions of his day, railing against men for wearing long hair and women for wearing short hair. He wrote a book claiming stage plays were immoral at a time when the Queen was acting in a play. His action resulted in imprisonment and the loss of his ears. He blamed Laud, the King's religious advisor, as his chief nemesis and gathered evidence against him when Laud was accused of treason. Laud was executed in 1645 as a result, and Prynne was tasked with publishing this book, an account of the trial.
